There was a time when summer for Sean “Diddy” Combs meant throwing lavish parties and getting captured in paparazzi photos on yachts. This summer, the only images the public saw of him were courtroom sketches
The man whose rise from intern to mogul looked like a hip-hop fairytale has been on trial for charges related to some nightmarish allegations with salacious details about his private life discussed in detail during the proceedings.
Combs was acquitted of the more serious charges of which he was accused – racketeering conspiracy and s3x trafficking.
He was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Next, comes sentencing with a hearing set for July 8 to discuss a request to expedite that process.
For now, Combs remains in custody. He faces up to 10 years in prison for each count on which he was found guilty, although legal analysts predict he will get much less. (He also still faces dozens of civil lawsuits, for which he has denied all wrongdoing.)
After Combs was denied bail ahead of sentencing on Wednesday, his attorney Marc Agnifilo, acknowledging that he didn’t see “a glimmer of light coming from the Court” that the judge would reverse his decision, tried one more time.
